Like many Central Washingtonians, I grew up responsibly exercising my constitutional right to bear arms, and I am a longstanding advocate for the protection of those rights. While this package takes significant steps to increase school safety to protect our children and improve mental health treatment and services, both of which are priorities of mine, the legislation lacks clear definitions over state records and due process protections to ensure that states do not have the ability to infringe upon Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights. The bill also fails to provide certainty to federally licensed firearms dealers as to what constitutes a “willful violation” that could potentially cost them their license to sell. Law-abiding citizens should not have to fear the federal government regulating their firearms out of existence. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:13:54Z |
